Tips to manage your PCOS
Now we need to look at a holistic approach to managing your PCOS. This includes managing your diet, lifestyle, and your mental health during your menstrual cycle.
Nutrition
If you have PCOS then chances are you have higher levels of insulin. You need to manage your sugar intake and refined carbohydrates. Don’t skip meals instead eat 3 unprocessed meals with plenty of veggies and up to 2 portions of fruit a day and 2 snacks a day. Low glycemic foods are good for you. Make sure you eat apples, berries, green vegetables, lentils, and beans regularly. Plenty of protein is also important to help you manage your PCOS. Every Wednesday I post on my Instagram simple, healthy good food ideas take a look here.
Exercise
Regular exercise will help manage your blood sugar levels, which will help balance insulin levels and the production of male hormones. Exercise 3+ times a week. Exercise for at least 10+ minutes for each session. Build to 30-minute sessions. Whatever you enjoy do it, whether it’s dancing, jogging, swimming, HIT, yoga, or even walking.
